I seriously believe this is getting out of hand. I have read information regarding VAC in detail and I am worried that any of the approved mods might not pass through the VAC detection system at all. It did clearly state that:
Any third-party modifications to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban.
Clearly there are many advantages that Excrulon’s mods give to the player and this is troublesome!
As for other people stating that they are safely playing right now or running the game with the mods without getting the ban then don’t be too assured of your safety because I have found this with google:
It is only after a delay of “days or even weeks” that the account is permanently banned from “VAC Secure” servers for that game, possibly along with other games that use the same engine. (e.g. Valve’s Source games, GoldSrc games, Unreal engine games). Valve never discloses which cheat was detected.
There is a delay and that’s what worries me. IMC themselves may have a hard time trying to lift VAC bans from players who are going to be victimized by this possible catastrophe. Guess I’m rolling with my super clean backup just to keep myself safe until IMC gives out an official statement .___.
